A break in the winter weather allowed Natalia and I to visit Scotney Castle in Kent, a beautiful and scenic place managed by the National Trust. Scotney House is preserved to an elegant fascination with ornate bedrooms and furnishings, enlightened by the friendly and helpful guides. The grounds shimmered in the sunlight, and the castle, while small, provided no end of photographic opportunities, particularly of its famous reflections. The recent cold weather probably delayed the spring bloom, but some daffodils were out in force.All the images below were taken with one of the Nikkors 35mm F/2 AF-D, 50mm F/1.8G, or the Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8 at 16mm, effectively acting as a prime wide angle lens on the D600. A few images were taken with my phone, the Nokia N8.I hope you enjoy the photos below and perhaps make your own visit to this wonderful place.
